Dumas, Daley Share Canadian Tire
Motorsport Park Wins
A
lex Dumas (Ducati) and Trev-
or Daley (Suzuki) shared the
wins at Canadian Tire Motorsport
Park over the weekend at round
five of the 2024 Canadian Super-
bike Championship; Daley also
went on to win the Sport Bike cat-
egory, with Sebastien Tremblay
taking the championship.
Starting second on the GP
Bikes Pro Superbike grid, Dumas
took the lead from polesitter
Sam Guerin (BMW) and main-
tained it throughout the race,
though under constant pressure
from title rivals Guerin and Ben
Young (BMW).
Young, who started ninth,
quickly moved to third by the
end of lap one and later overtook
Guerin to chase Dumas. The two
championship contenders raced
closely for the final eight laps,
with Young attempting a last-
minute move but finishing just
0.071 of a second behind Dumas,
marking the fifth-closest finish in
CSBK Pro Superbike history. This
victory was Dumas' first since
2023 and his first with Economy
Lube Ducati, marking Ducati's
first CSBK win in nearly 30 years.
Dumas couldn't back it up for
race two, however, with Suzuki's
Trevor Daley taking a second
career CSBK win.
The focus was on the cham
-
pionship battle between Young
and pole-sitter Guerin, but it was
Trevor Daley who came through
for a commanding start-to-finish
victory. Daley quickly took the
lead on lap one, pacing ahead of
Young and Tomas Casas (Yama
-
ha) on a wet but drying track. The
race took a turn when race-one
winner Dumas crashed in turn
eight, followed by Guerin's fall
in turn nine, seemingly securing
Young a fourth Canada Cup title.
However, Daley, riding his One-
Speed Suzuki, denied his close
friend that honor, fending off
Young's challenge and extend-
ing his lead in the unpredictable
conditions and secured the win.
In the Pro Sport Bike class,
Young (Suzuki) took the race-one
win ahead of Tremblay (Su-
zuki) and Elliot Viera (Ducati). In
race two, Daley hit back for the
second win of the day after his
Pro Superbike success ahead of
Tremblay, who took the title in
the process. Zoltan Frast (Kawa-
saki) took third.
